Author Note: It is time for the last chapter of this story. I am sorry that this chapter is later than what I expected but it's up now. I can not believe that we are in the last full week of January 2018. This past weekend, I had both girls which mean that I did not have to write but I will finish all the fanfiction before the beginning of February.

Chapter 5

It was around eight pm when Steve managed to get home from both the meetings that he had to have with the Governor and the unexpected case that they had. Steve walked into the house to find Marissa and Lexi asleep on the couch. He picked up his daughter and took her to her bedroom. He was happy that he had managed to get Lexi's bedroom set up a few days before. He walked back into the living room to pick up Lexi and take her to his room. Steve got ready for bed right after that.

It was around midnight when Steve heard movement into the house. He got out of bed and walked out of the room. He checked his daughter's bedroom to find her up and reading a book.

"Baby girl, it is time for bed." Steve said to her as he got her back into bed.

"But I can not sleep without mommy." She said to her father.

"Okay, why don't we get into my bed with mommy and try to fall back to sleep? Does that work?" Steve said to his daughter with a small smile.

"Yeah." She responded to him as she ran out of her bedroom and into Steve's room. By the time that he got in there to see that she had snuggled into Marissa and was fast asleep. Steve got into the bed and fell back to sleep himself.

The next morning, Steve woke up to find the girls still sleeping. He got out of bed since he knew that there would be another case this morning. They were working on taking down the mob bosses. He wanted to make sure that his girls stayed safe so he managed to get a HPD officer to stay with the girls during the time that he is at work.

Marissa woke up during the time he was in the shower. He walked into the bathroom and smiled when he saw her.

"Hey, Good morning." Steve said to his girlfriend as he leaned out of the shower to get a small kiss. "How did you sleep?"

"Pretty good."She responded to him. She knew where he might be going with this because she knew that this is what she wanted. She wanted them to all be in the house together.

"So I was thinking that maybe you would want to move into the house." Steve said to her. After a few minutes of silence, Steve was getting a little nervous about it since she had not given him an answer just yet.

Marissa wanted to say yes right then and there but was scared that he would break her heart again and also breaking the heart of their daughter. She knew that her daughter would have a hard time if that happen. She was so deep in thought that she did not hear him come out of the shower.

"babe, what is wrong?" Steve asked her.

"I am just thinking about if we move in together and something happens we break up. Our daughter will also get hurt." She responded to him.

"Listen to me, we are going to be okay. I am not going to let anything happen to us. You need to trust me on this." Steve said to her before giving her another small kiss. "What happen to us in the past, will not happen again."

"Okay, we will move in." She responded to him with a smile. She felt him wrapped his arms around her and gave her a small kiss. Before it could lead to something else, he heard his phone start to ring. He figure that it was Danny with a new case.

"Time to go to work." Steve said to her with a smile.

"Please promise me that you will be stay safe." She responded to him.

"I will. Just so you know that I have a HPD officer outside with you guys today. We are working a case that I am not taking any chances with your safety." Steve said to her.

"Okay." She responded to her.

Steve headed to office and found Danny there waiting for him in the parking lot.

"Hey Danno." Steve greeted his friend.

"What did I say about calling me that?" Danny responded to his friend. "You know that I hate that nickname."

"I know right. I just like to annoy you." Steve responded to his friend with a smile.

"Man, what put you in a good mood to act like this?" Danny asked his friend.

"Marissa agreed to move in with me again." Steve revealed to his friend with a smile.

"That is great. When are you planning to take the next step?" Danny asked his friend.

Before Steve had a chance to answer, his phone started to ring and it was from Marissa.

"Hey, what's going on?" Steve asked her.

"Steve, that HPD officer that you said was outside of the house isn't there." She responded to him.

"Okay, make sure the entire house is locked just to be safe." Steve said to her. He hanged up the phone and looked over at his friend.

"What's going on?" Danny asked his friend.

"The officer that Duke was going to send over to my house did not show up." Steve responded to his friend.

The case took longer than what they were expecting. They knew that they wanted to clean up the island as fast as they could. Steve hadn't been home in days since he wanted to make sure that it was safe for every child on the island. Marissa walked into the office to find him sleeping around midnight.

"Steve, It is time to go home." Marissa said to her boyfriend while trying to wake him up.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Steve asked her. He was a little surprised when he woke up to find her trying to wake him up. "Who's watching her?"

"Your sister is at the house with Joan. Joan fell asleep so I offered to let her stay the night since you had not been home in about a week. Come on, You need to come home and get some proper rest. Plus our daughter misses her father and so do I." She said to him.

"Okay." Steve responded to her. He would have normally fought her on this but he was too tired to fight and just wanted to get some sleep.

It took another five days to solve this case. Steve was happy that it was done because that meant that he and Marissa could take the next step.

"Are you sure that this is what you want to do again?" Danny asked his friend. He knew that Steve was planning to propose to her again.

"Yeah, I should have never let her go. It was wrong and it cost me time with my family." Steve responded to his friend. "I just need you to support me on this."

"Oh I do support you on your life choices somewhat. I just want to make sure that you are okay with her." Danny responded to him while earning him a look.

"I made the mistake on letting my wife go and now it's time for make it right and that means that I need to correct my wrong. I want my family back." Steve responded to his friend.

"Okay." Danny responded to him as they headed out to the truck and car. They headed their sepearte ways.

Six months had gone by and Steve and Marissa got married again. They were so happy and love each moment together. Steve was super happy that she came back into his life.
